Advice needed, fat loss around stomach
Abit about my fitness history....fit as a fiddle all my life, except at one point between the age of 20-25 I was obese. I weighed 130kg at 6 foot 3.
To the present day and I am a fitness addict and weigh 90kg and have 16% body fat. I workout 5 days (2 times weights, combinded with 30 mins of ab work and 2 or 3 times cardio) a week and generally keep active. Eat 6 meals a day, high protein (about 150 grams per day), mod carbs, enough fruit and veges.
I felt it was needed to give a quick background as I have a question....
That question is, I have very little fat anywhere else on my body EXCEPT for around my midsection. I just won't go away, underneath the fat u call feel the very strong ab muscles, its just covered in a layer of fat!. How about if I were to keep doing the same workout regime but up the cardio? to say 5 times a week? do u think that would work?
I had a discussion with a friend who is adament no matter what I do (other than surgery) the fat around my stomach won't go away because it is loose skin from when I was obese. Do u agree? or do u think I should up the cardio and that will work? or any other suggestions?
Cheers

What is your body fat percentage?
Without this knowledge (or a picture) there is no way for anyone to tell whether you have loose skin, or are overfat.
If you increase your exercise frequency it will help. You may want to increase your exercise intensity which will have more effects if you progress it properly.
